THE FOUNDATION

The Women of the Year Foundation was established in 2001 with the aim of helping women to fulfil their potential and become, in their own context, future ‘Women of the Year’. The Foundation is a charity funded by donations and fundraising initiatives by those involved in the annual Women of the Year Lunch. A committee meets each year to decide how to distribute grants and funding to women and women’s projects worldwide.

Since 2001, we have supported a number of disadvantaged women both in the UK and abroad to start over and improve their lives either through retraining or in business.
